How to Install the BCT840S Crimping Tool
Instructions for using the BCT840S adjustable crimping tool for battery cables.
Estimated time: 15m
Tools needed:
Adjustable crimper, Pin gauge
Supplies needed:
Connectors, Battery cables
- Prepare the cable
Strip the cable without cutting or nicking the strands.
- Select tool side and adjust for cable size
Select the side of the tool according to the type of connector to be installed (casting or tubing). Move the indenter by turning the adjusting wheel until the pointer slot aligns with the selected cable size line. Ensure the wheel is in a positive detented position.
- Insert cable and position connector
Insert the cable into the connector barrel until it bottoms. Locate the connector in the tool between the die nest and indenter so that the die is between the color code marks.
- Crimp the connector
Crimp the connector by closing the handles. Note: Some connectors require more than one crimp; refer to instructions packed with the connectors.
- Verify tool adjustment
Close the tool jaws until they bottom. Select the side of the tool to be gauged (Casting and/or Tubing). Move the indenter until the pointer slot aligns with the selected cable size. For cast connectors, select 1/0. For tubular connectors, select 2/0. Gauge the crimping area with a suitable pin gauge. The gauge diameter must fall within .405 ±.010.
